A group of people are gathered around forming a circle, black robes covering their bodies and faces and only with a single dim candle illuminating the place, could it be a dungeon? A house? Or are they outisde in a night with no moon or stars? It is impossible to determinate, just like it is impossible to know who is the one who steps forward and, with a distorted voice shouts

"Brothers and sisters! The time for the reckoning is near, soon our wishes shall be fulfilled and the whole Illiac bay will fall to our feet and beg for mercy!"

The group felt into an unintelligible chanting of arcane words of praying and the one that talked stepped onto the candle, leaving the place in complete darkness.
In a certain port town in Anticlere, Charenvale, a bunch of Nords step out of their Knarr ship and having traveled around Tamriel for quite a long time. Their objetive is unkown, what could a crew of nord be planning in High Rock? Without caring about dragging attention with their golden hair and blue eyes, the men walked quickly through the streets and sheltered themselves inside the closest inn. Inside said inn a certain imperial girl who had arrived recently upon receiving a letter was having a rest as well and her looks, around the middle 20s, black hair and blue eyes, caught the attention of the nords. One of them, a one eyed barbarian with blonde hair called Jalfard approached the girl and asked

"Hello girl. What's a pretty young girl like you doing all alone here? Would you like some company?"
A certain member of the court of Stoklech was walking up and down inside his comfortable room in the palace nervous as a sane man could be. Books laying on the floor alongside broken vases and plates, signs of desperation and impatience. His assistant, a young lad with athletic complexion spoke

"How about the fighters guild?"
"No, this is something that requires force, but that much."
"And the knights of the Flame?"
"Idiot! Knights hold their honor too high for such a thing."


An uncomfortable silence followed until the assistant talked again

"Sir, I know of someone, a nord huntress who has been living and hunting around here for some time now. She is definitely strong, and as far as I know she isn't affiliated with any guild"
Yes! that would be perfect! Try to bring her here, as soon as possible."


The assistant left the room and grabbed a horse from the stables towards the house of said nord, finding the girl with black hair and blue eyes

"Are you Pisukisa? I'm Heren Tarkos My master requires your help."
The Sun was hitting hard in Hammerfell, and town of Cudajsia, in Dak'Fron was being punished by the unforgiving rays of the sun. A particular normal day, redguards were already customized to this heat, but not so much for a nord monk that happened to have arrived recently to the region. His clothes and long beard seemed unfitting for such weather, but the people of the place, despite not receiving visit from outsiders often, were open and gentle to him. In the inn of the Mouse and the Fawn there weren't much people there, but the monk had decided to stop there to rest from the sun, but suddenly the peace was disrupted by a group of knights who abruptly entered and their leader, a redguard woman shouted

"By imperial order all the people in this town are to be inspected suspicious of forbidden pagan rituals involving evil daedras."

The knights swiftly raided the place, looking behind counters, doors, tables and everything without warning. The captain, named Caoldi, approached the nord and with inquisitive tone she asked

"I see that you are a monk. If so, what Divine do you worship?"
A young Breton arrived at the doors of the capital of Daggerfall, conveniently named Daggerfall as well. What wasn't convenient was the time of his arrival, just fifteen minutes after the closure of the gates, and such he was about to be left outside in the middle of the night, prone to encounter packs of wolves, bears or even cursed skeletons. Not good, not good at all, and the guards at the door, atop the wall, weren't likely to be the ones who would yield so easily. He was about to ask the guards when he noticed a dum light in the distance alongside the wall, it was for a very brief moment, but he could swear that he saw someone in the darkness, and whoever it was, he was signaling the breton to get closer and approach him or her.
Thirst
The vast Alik'r desert had been a test of endurance for many adventurers and explorers for centuries, and for one of them, an argonian, it seemed like it was about to be his end.His water provisions had ran dry, and his moist skin wasn't taking well the scorch, but at least his cape covered him enough to not suffer from the horrible burns that he had witnessed on the corpses that now and then he encountered in his path, death of initiation. His head grew heavy and his sight grew dim, he needed to stop for now. And answering his prayers he arrived at a place formed with just 4 small houses, not enclosed by any walls or fences, in the middle of the dessert and with a sign that simply said "Maurp manor." Certainly none of the houses seemed big enough to be considered a manor, but for now that's all he had in sight, four small chalets, and there was a posibility of someone living in them.

As soon as Heren spoke the flames of the candles iluminating the room, which was filled with thousands of fairy tales books, died leaving the room in almost complete darkness.
"In deed I am.." Pisukisa said holding her favourite book and closed it leaving it on a table.
A few seconds passed when the cold steel of her katana rubbed Heren's neck giving him goose bumps "...What an unpolite way of introducing yourself, getting in the house of a lady without knocking.
Because of the strong wind the door opened and the sun iluminated the room "Well, Who is your master to begin with?" The lonely woman said with her beautiful yet gloomy appearence

With his curiosity sparked Valen walked calmly past the guards in order not to alert suspicion and placed a hand on his sword and stretched the fingers of the other ready to cast a spell at any moment in case this stranger was simply going to ambush him which would be folly as guards were reasonably close by. He approached the stranger but there were no torches on this part of the wall, or no light ones anyway, and so the stranger was completely shrouded in darkness which made trying to establish a identity to the person rather difficult, which was a shame since Valen always liked to size up people before dealing with them. "Well hello there stranger, is there of anything you need from me?"

Alfgore looked up to the knight and smiled sweetly at the young captain "I worship all the gods, but if I had to choose one it would have to be Mara" Alfgore said patiently finishing the last of his drink drink he had ordered and stood scratching at his beard "There are no Daedra here, I would have disposed of them with most haste, you've nothing to fear". Alfgore was telling the truth, there was no Daedra in this inn, but he did have the feeling he would meet one sooner or later in this town or the next Drak'fon does not have a specific god of worship the local guards probably got an uncanny number of reports of malicious spiritual activity. Alfgore started to walk towards the door, he needed to keep moving. As he moved to the door he started to think about why he was in Drak'fon in the first place,that's right, the letter he had received, someone requested his knowledge on Daedra to help deal with some important matter, he put his hand on the doorknob the warm metal was still strange to him, being used to the cold grip of skyrim the heat was a welcome but strange change.

Heren swallowed, certainly he was so anxious in getting to the person in fear of the rage of his master that he didn't consider the implications of entering someone's house uninvited. Certainly, the door was open, but in his haste he should have considered to at least knock first

M..M...M...

It took him some seconds until he stopped to stutter and then he talked quickly

My master is sir Alabistair Yeomsley, a noble from the court of Stoklech and he requires your services to retrieve something that he holds dear and was tolen.

Snap, he had slipped his tongue, he wasn't supposed to talk about the details of the mission, but to put it blunty, that girl had quite some good persuasion skills
Valen said "Well hello there stranger, is there of anything you need from me?"


Darfair thinks you should speak lower, we do not want to attract the attention of the guards no?

The khajit spoke calmly without really turning his attention to the breton and instead he fixed in the opening of the wall, a small passage to the sewers, big enough for someone to enter but closed with a padlock that, surprisingly, seemed to be quite new and sturdy. Upon a closer inspection a pair of small metal rods seemed to be inside the keyhole. The male khajit with fur akin to a snow panther spoke to Valer

My name is Darfair. I'm an honest citizen of this town of Daggerfall, and I work on the fields outside until it gets dark with hopes of arriving soon home to rest after a hard day in the fields, but despite having lived for such a long time the guards can't trust me. Just because Darfair is a khajit, racist people. And because of that I'm often obligated to navigate these sewers to reach my house. Imagine my surprise when I saw that today they had put a new padlock and I'm not going to be able to get to my home tonight.

He looked at the breton and took a pair of seconds of thinking the best words before speaking

Unless... Someone... Helps Darfair with the lock. I can feel you are a magician, and you probably could blast this thing with a spell. I'm not telling you to do such a thing for free, think of it as a partnership so both of us can survive the night
"We know there are no daedra here, we are looking for people who might have been in contact with them."

Just when Alfgore was about to leave one of the redguards came grabbing forcefully a girl by her wrist

"Captain, captain! This girl was trying to sneak through the back door when we entered."

Caoldi approached the girl with olive skin and green eyes with braided hair, probably no more than 15 years old and shouted

"Where were you trying to go? Were you alarmed by our presence and tried to run away?"
"I also found this on her, captain."


The knight handled a small symbol made out of dried rope, in the form of a simple triangle with a smaller triangle within. The redguard woman grabbed and said

"This clearly is proof enough of suspicion. We shall arrest this girl of being involved with daedric activities

The girl was crying and about to say something, but was promptly slapped and handcuffed. Caoldi then turned to the nord and said

"If you are a monk in a pilgrimage you should go to the town of Bibu then, they hold a temple in honor to Mara"

"Sir Alabistair Yeomsley...Yes,,,I have heard of him..." Pisukisa said and put the katana on the corner, together wit it's twin, and turned to the unpolite man.
"What kind of guards this noble has? Having guards that are notable to keep thievs away" Pisukisa asked noticing Heren's facial exprecion as soon as he finished talking.
"Is it something THAT important that you even ask ME for help?"

The Inn was cozy and warm. As usual Rusalka sat on a table in a corner of the inn and ordered a glass of milk and some bread. Her paranoia did not stop there, her blue eyes stared around the establishment watching guests getting in and out. Rusalka attributed this peculiarity to her "strange" profession routine. She had just asked another glass of milk when a group of strangers entered the tavern. Her eyes moved quickly toward the door, enough to realize that they were not only outsiders but nords. She tried to remember the letter she received in Chorrol, but she could not make any connection with the mercenaries. And despite trying to keep discrete, her beauty cheated on her and one of them walked toward her. Although arrogant and confident in her skills, Rusalka knew that she was outnumbered. Smoothly she replied: "The same as you, looking for a place to drink and rest," she then turned to another Nordic and gave a slight smile, "depends on the company." And, while talking, she was trying to slowly reach her dagger on her waist.

The Alik'r sun was hot on his scales, even as his cloak protected him from the brunt of the wrath of the desert sun. But the Argonian, a being of the water, had endured, even as many other travellers unaccustomed to this environment had not. However, perhaps that was to end soon. He was fatigued and unfocused. His supplies were running low, and that was if he still possessed them at all. It looked like his luck was finally running out.

Ajax-Vei growled. He had taken a detour on his way to the Lilac Bay, and this was what he got out of it. Was this punishment for his greed, his lust for knowledge and fortune that led him to search the Alik'r Desert for the Dwemer ruins allegedly hidden in dunes of sand?

But the Saxhleel wasn't going to stop yet. His soul may be destined to return to the Hist, but he wouldn't let it go without a fight if he wasn't ready.

And so he trudged on.

And on.

And on.

The land was uniform throughout, the only changing features being the position the sun glared at him from and the clouds that provided a moment's respite from the heat. At least until he came upon a small hamlet called Maurp Manor for... Some reason. But he had better things on his mind than why a small settlement would take a pretentious name. Fortune had favored him, and it seemed that today would not be the day he reaches the shore.

Ajax-Vei looked over the houses and knocked on the front door of the first one. If that was not answered, he would repeat the process for each. If none were answered, he would put to use his skill in breaking into locked vaults and secured chests.

Heren relaxed once the blade was out of reach. Surely, this woman was a foe not to take lighty, but now that she had revelaed her movements and he was more calm he was at least capable of raising his buckler in case she decided to approach again with murderous intentions. He had heard of the ferocity of this girl, but he couldn't have imagined that a mere huntress was skilled with eastern swords.

"My master has no guards, since he lives in the palace and therefor the guards are not his, but the king's. What was stolen from him was not by a burglar, but by bandits in the forest nearby, and therefor there was no way to be prevented with security measures. There is no need to underestimate yourself like that, my master is quite aware of your skills and have considered you to be perfect for this work.

Heren backpedaled to the door, the sooner he got out of there the better

In case you decide to accept this offer, for which you will be properly rewarded, my master Yeomsley will be awaiting you in the palace of Charenvale, where he will give you the details.

The scout got out of the house and mounted his horse, glad to be out of danger, but still worried in case Pisukisa decided not to aid him.
Jalfard smiled, truly he was disappointing when he noticed that the girl he had found was an imperial, but on the other hand perhaps it could be his lucky night if he put some effort into his charm, they have been navigating the sea for quite a while with only male company.

"If company is what you seek then I must say you are a very unlucky lady, for this place has just been raided by the worst of the scum of the sea. But fear not, I'm here to protect you in case something happens. You can call me Jalfard, how about you?

Meanwhile, another nord, a smaller but still strong guy was watching how Jalfard was getting tricked. The blonde giant was certainly stupid, but this guy, Yodrick, was not, and he was delightfully watching how the girl was retrieving a knife from her waist. An spectacle worth seeing if things turned out badly, not to mention save from later work

When the argonian called on the first door no one answered, but on the second house the door was opened and a redguard woman answered, she stood there at the doorway for some seconds before realizing that an exhausted explorer had arrived and then she got alarmed

Oh my goodness! Poor guy!

She ran to a table inside the house and quickly returned with a bota bag full of fresh water.

Here, drink. I must tell the lord of your arrival

The redguard woman left the argonian alone in the house, certainly it wasn't a good idea, but her samaritan spirit took precedence over the security of her modest servant home and belongings. When she called the master, an old bosmer named Tagorn Oaklake, he walked slowly with the weight of age towards the house, which had been left alone for roughly 10 minutes with the argonian inside. The cane he used to walk tingled with a small bell that chimed with each step the old mer took and it was when Ajax heard the bell approaching when the bosmer entered

My, my. Griella, this is not a dragon, this is an argonian. Welcome to my manor, what's an argonian doing in such inhospitable lands?

Pisukisa watched Here leave and crossed her arms, her face was not showing any particular emotion. She watched the sky from the door for a few minutes, then looked back inside for a few seods and again to the sky. Yeah she wanted to have some fun. She took her katanas and then put on her cloack so it covered her whole body and weapons.
Pisuka'as horse was tied by a very long rope to a tree in the backgarden, she untied the rope and got on the horse "In march, Galoon" Pisukia said softly and the horse ran out of the village with an amazing speed, as expected from a Jarl's horse, they crossed Heren on the way but Pisukisa didn't bother to stop.

She heard the nord and frowned. Soon afterwards Elbent, the tavernkeeper, left over a glass of milk on the table.

"Would you like a beer?" stuttered the old man trembling, nervous about the situation.

"Rusalka," she said after thanking the tavernkeeper.

Rusalka took a sip and leaned to the side to see the rest of the group, "You do not seem to be a group that arrives in a town looking for ales. What makes you think I need protection?"

"Curious" said Valen as he studied the opening, he could see no harm in helping the Khajit it was really a question of what he would be paid in return, after all "There is no such thing as a free lunch" which he learnt on his time as a troublesome street urchin. But Valen suspected that this Khajit was not the richest of persons and could not offer him much in the way of gold but this "Partnership in surviving the night" sounded intriguing and so he asked "What do you mean by partnership exactly?"

Her crying triggered a memory in Alfgore, a bad man convinced him that a child was evil and need to die, the child turned out innocent."Let her speak" he said softly moving towards the girl and smiled softly "where did you get this?" He pointed to the rope. He wasn't going to let an innocent person get put in jail because they found something or was protecting someone else.

"That damned girl"

He cursed Pisukisa, but truth to be told Heren was glad that she had decided to get to the city. In fact, that put him in the mood for some horse rancing and soon both of them were competing with each other to reach the city firts. The slim horse of the breton quickly caught up to the girl and managed to stay up front for a while, but ultimately its endurance was no match for a nord breed and such the Pisukisa managed to kept running longer, thus goving her advantage and leaving the breton far behind. When she arrived at the city, a woman in green clothes aproached the girl and said
"I'm residing at the inn, I'll be waiting for you any night."

" Oh Rusalka, I didn't mean to say that you are weak. But you see, these people are among the fiercest warriors of Dawnstar, in Skyrim, and we are bounty hunters.

Yodrick was alerted, what the hell was the stupid idiot of Jalfard doing? No more than 20 minutes had passed and he was already blowing their mission to strangers

"And we've come to get the bounty for this girl who seemed to have killed a jarl. Gutsy ain't it? Here, let me show you the poster fo...

He had retrieved the aforemended poster and he was about to open it when he droped it on the table and started to do noises of pain. Yodrick approached from behind and asked if he was feeling well, eto which Jalfard answered that not so much and thus Yodrick reccomended him to go outside to have some fresh air, which he did. Yodrick took the chance to occupy his seat and grab the poster. He opened his mouth and was about to say something before he gave it a though and then he spoke

"Well, miss Rusalka. It seems very unlikely that you didn't catch it from where you were looking, so I'll ask it directly: are you interested in helping me with a tedious task?"

Some moments later Jaldraff dropped dead in the middle of the street, victim of a poison spell

"I hope we enjoy our night together" The nord with hair black as coal saidn and resumed her march towards this Sir Alabistair Yeomsley.
She has no problem entering the palace, some courtesans with beautiful dresses reavealing Pisukisa's favurite part of the body...clavicles...
"This must be heaven" she thought thinking about having all those girls, she saw 4 and knew there were much more, all for herself every night. But there was no time for day draming, Pisukisa was guided into the noble's room

"Partnerships. Darfair is not sure if he has chosen the correct word. Perhaps he has even made it up without knowing"

The khajit retrieved the lockpicks from the padlock, it was clear that he wasn't going to open such a new and difficult lock without the specialized tools that he hadn't brought with him this time, but he would be prepared for the next day.

"We both have a common interest, getting into the city. Darfair has provided the entrance, but it is up of the mage to provide the key to open it so both of us can enter together like partners, yes?"

One of the redguard knights was starting to say "How dare you interupt official business of our knight order without being asked?" But he was interrupted by Caoldi. The monk seemed trustworthy and certainly the opinion of religious, a daedric exorcist and by the looks a experienced one at that wasn't out of place, looking at the circumstances. With that said, Caoldi looked at the girl and prompted her to speak, who did so among sobs and tears.

"I... I made this with some friends. We do not have money for pendants, jewels and necklaces, so we make our own out of strings. I'm telling the truth sir.

Suspicious, Caoldi though. As far as she knew she had never heard of such craftmanship tradition, not to me tion the probability of hidden symbolism. But she would listen to what the monk had to say

Rusalka pulled the dagger from her waist and placed on the table and took another sip of her milk.

"Let us go straight to the point. I need details on how many you guys are, what is my part and, especially, who is the girl."

She was still suspicious. After all, she would not take the job unless it was someone that she trusted, but his curiosity was piqued. Yodrick seemed to be hiding something, she thought.
